Creativity is more than a simple act—it's a state of being. Explore the depth of your artistic self and realize that creativity permeates through all facets of life, not just in the artwork we produce. In this post, we delve into the idea of creativity as a fundamental part of who you are, not merely what you do.

Just as nature is governed by seasons, so too can our creativity be guided by the rhythm of sowing, growing, reaping, and resting. This cyclical process can help maintain a sustainable creative practice and enrich the depth of our work. Let's unpack this concept.

As artists, we often find comfort in the familiar - our tried-and-true techniques, favorite mediums, and signature styles. We become known for that one thing.

The Fool's Journey
Let’s talk Tarot!
How can the Fool card relate to your creativity? I like to think of the Fool as having a beginner’s mind.
As artists, how can we embody the Fool’s energy? Look at it as an invitation to approach creating with a beginner’s mind.
The Fool doesn’t have life experiences under their belt. Because of that lack of experience, their mind is more open and free. What is there to hold them back?
Embodying the Fool might look like creating for yourself and not fearing what others may think. It’s taking chances and trying new things. It’s like seeing things for the first time and not having outside influences.
Approaching your work with the Fool’s energy might help you feel more creative freedom, and with that comes growth. Experiment! Have fun! Create for YOU!

Expressive Self Portraiture Coming in March
Self-portraiture is a portal to the parts of you that have been dormant, wounded, silenced, and hidden. It’s a doorway to a better version of yourself. It’s a creative form of storytelling and self-expression.

I’m considering opening up Expressive Self-Portraiture for another round in March. If this is a class you’re interested in or if you would like more details, please email me at sharoncovertphotography@gmail.com . 🤍
